Parent & Loved Ones
WORKSHOP

If someone you love and care for is struggling with an eating disorder, know that you are not alone. We are here to offer support.

The journey to eating disorder (ED) recovery can be long and challenging, affecting not just the individual, but the entire family. While the most visible symptom may appear to be your child’s struggle with eating, it’s important not to overlook the deeper dynamics that contribute to this behaviour. Parents often face daily worries, unsure whether their child will recover and overwhelmed by misconceptions, such as the belief that an eating disorder is a lifelong illness. Please know this: recovery is possible.

This 3-hour workshop is designed to help parents understand these hidden dynamics, explore why certain strategies may not always seem effective, and provide the tools you need to support your child’s recovery. It’s also a chance for parents to share their challenges and ask questions about any aspect of treatment and recovery.

Topics may include:

Part 1 – Anxiety, Adolescence and Body Image

Part 2 – Co-regulation and Influence – What can parents do?

Part3 – Questions & Answers

This group is intended for parents of children ages 10 - 25
